This 1200 year-old cathedral and university city is the heart of the Paderborner Land. It is a successful blend of a historical and yet modern city that attracts millions of visitors each year.
Shoppers can enjoy the contrast between the newly designed pedestrian zone and the peacefulness of the Paderquellgebiet headwaters, just a stone’s throw away. In Paderborn, water is an ever present element amidst the activities of the modern world.
A walk through Paderborn is a walk through the time. The middle ages, with the Kaiserpfalzen, and the Weserrenaissance, with the famous three gabbled City Hall, are separated by only a few steps. The stunning Schloss Neuhaus castle from the Weserrenaissance with its moat, baroque garden and extensive park grounds is just 4 km away.
